The given repository is a clone of the vanilla kernel.
/usr/bin/git --git-dir=/home/ebeer/repos/upstream/linux/.git ls-remote origin 2>&1 | less
And I then see things like this:
6f38b5d6cfd43dde3058a10c68baae9cf17af912 refs/tags/v5.0-rc2
1c7fc5cbc33980acd13ae83d0b416db002fe95601e7f97f64b59514d936 refs/tags/v5.7-rc2^{}
d0709bb6da2ab6d49b11643e98abdf79b1a2817f refs/tags/v5.7-rc3
This also happens when I cd into the repository and just run "git ls-remote"
on some of my repositories, but much less often.
The remainder of the overly long line is the correct id for that tag. The
error does not happen on every run, and on some of my repositories it also
differs from run to run on which tag that happens. Here it seems that it is
quite stable to happening on this tag. However, a different user on the same
machine running the very same command had it happen on v5.7-rc3.
I have the same on my laptop, both run on Opensuse Tumbleweed, updated at the
same time this morning. This seems to be quite fragile regarding latency or
such: I can reproduce it with our internal git server, but not with
kernel.org. This is not bound to less, we originally observed the error on a
entirely different tool that tried to parse the output of ls-remote.
Given that there are quite a lot of tags missing I suspect it may be that the
pipe handling is somewhere broken, i.e. too much data is written to a pipe
that is already full. I have not been able to provoke that using pv by rate
limiting the output so far.
